Drawing exceptional fruit from Lyndoch in the Barossa's south, this is a Shiraz of elegance and charm. The nose is lifted and fragrant with aromatic fruits, the palate poised and graceful with a soft, smooth texture and a silky veil of tannin.

In the far south of the Barossa Valley, Lyndoch feature’s the region’s lowest altitude, with the God’s Hill and Lyndoch Valley vineyards from which this wine is sourced, lying on some of the district’s higher peaks at 250 to 300m. Framed by slopes of Barossa Ironstone, the soils show multiple complexities, ranging from red-brown earths to alluvial sediments and fine sands overlying ancient micaceous schists, siltstones, calcitites and quartzites. Lyndoch enjoys the region’s highest rainfall at around 650mm, while the lower elevation results in slightly warmer average temperatures, promoting some of the earliest ripening, with higher levels of humidity contributing to fresh, aromatic flavours. The Lyndoch terroir is known for growing soft perfumed Shiraz with lush fruit and natural elegance.Vintage Conditions:
Good winter rain set the vines up well, which, with a warm, early spring, resulted in healthy vines and an early onset of the growth cycle. Wind during flowering resulted in a slightly poorer set, which, along with a cool summer, reduced bunch and berry size. Mild days and cool nights during ripening allowed for optimal development, resulting in exceptionally well-balanced fruit with bright, rich varietal character, great intensity of flavour and good natural acidity.

Winemaker Notes:

Harvested at optimum maturity, fruit from individual blocks was crushed separately and fermented in small open-top fermenters. A mix of plunging and gentle pumping over was used to optimise flavour, colour and tannin extraction, giving the wine rich concentration and depth of fruit while retaining plush, supple tannins. The wines were left on skins until dry to lengthen tannins and enhance palate line and finish.Maturation:
Matured in 75% seasoned and 25% new French oak barrels for 18
months to enhance complexity.

Food Pairing:

Estates of the Barossa Lyndoch Shiraz is great with rare beef salad with grilled figs, rocket and blossoms, or roast pheasant with thyme and juniper berries.Peak Drinking:
This wine will develop with age, softening and mellowing to reward a decade or more of careful cellaring.Download tasting note PDF
